They remind me a bit of a high Kickers style

Oh sorry I should have said he's 17 so no, no kickers

Camper might be worth a try.

or Hotter

Bought Campers Pix boots for my partner's Christmas present. He's got a few pairs of boots but these offer a different sort of style, and are probably very practical.

Just re-read and seen you've mentioned 'not as spendy'. But based on your photo image the Campers look a lot more long-wearing. But I don't know if Campers are a no-no for teens, as my son is no longer one of those.
